Abstract: Such forms of hypertension which are called essential have to be understood as a result of civilizational changes of the eating habits and conditions of life and work. They are one of the greatest medical problems of the Western civilizational world. The own mistakes (overfeeding, consumption of kitchen-salt (sodium chloride), stimulants and dysstress, mostly through unbalanced digestion of experiences in the social field) play the leading role in the complex of causes for the "essential hypertension" developing according to life.The only therapeutical measure which likewise causally affects all facettes of the etiopathogenesis of this essential hypertension is the remedial fasting in the deliberate distance to the work and the milieu to which one is used. Under these conditions the harmonic order of all regulative mechanisms of the blood circulation can in most of the cases be restored. The duration of this success depends an whether the pathogenic conditions of life and habits became evident and changeable for the patient.With fasting as the basic therapy one succeeds most easily to change subsequently any wrong nutrition and by the by to include all other measures of biological medicine as necessary. Very important is the autosuggestive individual treatment or such treatment in groups (e. g. autogenous training) and, if necessary, the psychological advice and care.The mostly only pharmacologically treated patients must stepwise be weaned therefrom and in the frame of such holistic therapy individually accustomed to the absolutely necessary combination and dosage.The motivation of the patient for an active cooperation both with respect to regaining and maintaining his or her health is of significant importance for the permanent success.
